- loeg 6y agoToast0's great-grandparent comment (and my grandparent comment) are talking about Host-managed SMR, not "transparent" drive-managed SMR like these fraudulent WD Reds. Yes, nothing except extremely low load or extremely linear (i.e., security video / tape-style backup) workflows works well with drive-managed SMR.
